Those be- | hind Primo would not wish anything unpleasant to happen to him. And among Carnera’s stockholders are some very deeep thinkers and fast movers. It is told of Rudyard Kipling that ence, leaving for a tour around the world, he had so worked out his sched- ule that he said to the cabby who took him from his home to the station: “I want you to be here seven months and four days from today, at 3:15 pm,, tomorrow night, had the fight fans, State Boxing Commission and even the promoters guessing today. Stadium officials were determined and positive the 10-round battle would be held on schedule, but the fight fans were skeptical, claiming neither fighter wanted to meet the other and fearing a last minute “run out.” Originally, the match was billed for June 17 by verbal agreement with the fighters. Von Porat and his manager, Ed Stevenson, later declined to sign, however, until fhe commission suspend- ed them for 60 days and redated the match for June 18. Tuesday Stribling requested the match be postponed, com- plaining he had inju his left hand in training. The commission's physi- clan said he could detect nothing radi- cally wrong with the hand, but the fight again was postponed until Friday night. Stribling Complains. Yesterday, two days before the fight, Stribling refused to do any boxing, of the varsity course, starting at ® am. (Eastern standard time). The varsity race is slated for 6:30 p.m. ‘The fifth of a rapidly shifted line of Harvard coaches, Charles Whitesides, is in command at Red Top this year. He has been given a vote of con- fidence at Cambridge, regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's regatta, being re-engaged for a three-year term of office. It is Harvard's answer to the need of a ‘“system” to combat the Leader regime, and Crimson supporters are hoping for the future. Yale has come down to its final race of 1930 not only unbeaten, but with one of the finest of Leader-coached varsity eights, stroked by Woodruff ‘Tappen, a barrel-chested power house. ‘The crew has been so hngreulve in time trials that some of the experts believe it has a chance to crack the record of 20 minutes and 2 seconds, set in 1916 by Harvard over the down- stream course.

Oarsmen in Collegiate Event Are Heavier Than in Old Days BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 19. ~—The present type of college oarsman, encamped on the banks of the Hudson for the thirty-third annual intercollegiate re- gatta, June 26, averages from 5 to 15 pounds heavier and from an inch to three inches taller per man than his predecessor of pre-war days. Whether the race of college youth has increased in stature and in bulk during the last 20 or 30 years, the styles in rowing builds have changed entirely. ‘The present Naval Academy eight, for instance, is listed as averaging 183 pounds and 6 feet 11, inches, whereas the Cornell crew of 1801, which set a course record that stood for 27 years, registered only 165! pounds and 5 feet 912 inches. 'w of the famous Cornell crews were more than five or six pounds heavier. Dick Glendon’s 1930 Middies probably will boil down to around 179 or 180 by the time they go to the starting line, but even at that their physical advantage over the Cornellians of heroic memory is huge. Virtually all of the erews in training here are up around the 176-pound mark. Cornell's present array, with a 6-foot | 5 inch, 200-pounder at the No. 6 oar, exceeds even the Navy in poundage. California, averaging 180 pounds and 6 feet 2 inches, has two men of 6 feet 4 inches or more in altitude. Nowhere is the difference more marked than in the stroke oars, old style and new. Jim Ten Eyck, jr., son of the famous Syracuse rowing coach, weighed 168 rifiNrl unn-Bush Ankle-Fashioned Oxfords Rich Black Russie Calf Berberich'S F ST. « TWELFTH and measured 5 feet 815 inches when he paced the Orange to victory in 1908 You Con SEE ond FEEL the difference in one of the 10 feature races rowed on_this historic course. Cornell in 1898 was stroked by E. A. Briggs, who was 25 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and scaled only 138 pounds, although most of Courtney’s stroke oars were around the 170-pound mark. In this present age of beef and brawn in the pace-setter’s seat, the only job 2 man of Briggs’ diminutive proportions cowid get in a Poughkeepsie varsity crew would be the coxswain's assign- ment. Compare his modest measure- ments, for example, with the 6 feet 4, inches of Duncan Gregg, California stroke; the 190 pounds of burly H. E. Shelton, Nng pacemaker, or the bulk of big Bill Blesse of Columbia, feet 3 inches and 190 pounds. Yet, despite the great discrepancy in favor of the present generation, the records indicate considerable doubt as to whether the modern eights are faster. Of the six fastest winning times ever made over the four-mile Hudson River course, five were registered by Cornell crews between 1901 and 1912, although California’s Olympic crew of 1928 holds the record.

LONG BEACH, Calif., June 19.— Maj. +C. P. Mathewson is literally shaking his golfing utensils against time and change.

He started out in the early morn- ing hours with an 88 for the first round and wound up with 101 for his final 18 holes at 5 pm. Maj.
